Chapter 2153 Lead the Way
Chapter 2153 Â Lead the Way
Eidolardâs legs trembled as he watched this terrifying scene. He felt that the person in front of him was a demon!
âI donât like to be deceived. I hope you can cooperate, or else you will die even more miserably. Now, I need a researcherâs uniform.â
Eidolard dared not deceive anymore. Trembling, he walked to a nearby cabinet, took out a researcherâs outfit, and handed it to Fang Heng. Then he said, âI know about the Niam alloy. My colleague works there. I wasnât lying to you. However, access to the advanced research institute area is temporarily locked, and the password is âEye Lock.â I canât disable the lock. I can only take you there.â
âYes, lead the way.â
Fang Heng changed into a researcherâs uniform and left the laboratory room with Eidolard. He once again released his perception to sense the situation outside.
Without the help of the Lickers and the worms, the speed of the tree spirits invading the research institute was greatly reduced.
It was also quite good.
The tree spirits helped him attract the attention of OmniTech Company, which was why he could sneak into the underground area of the research institute so easily.
He still had plenty of time.
Soon, Fang Heng entered the underground high-tier research area of the research institute under the guidance of Eidolard.
The path ahead was blocked by a falling metal door.
âWeâre here. The S-level research institute is inside. The research institute has just entered crisis mode, and the entrance is now sealed. Iâm not lying to you.â
Eidolard looked at Fang Heng carefully and shrunk his neck.
âArenât you going to help me open it?â
âNo, itâs not possible. The relevant keys are only accessible to the projectâs direct supervisor and personnel with supervisor-level permissions or higher in the research institute. Plus, it requires iris verification. We canât get in.â
Fang Heng turned to look at the alloy metal door in front of him.
He had no choice.
This time, Mo Jiawei didnât follow them.
He could only force it.
Fang Heng was about to go up and try to smash the door when he suddenly heard a cracking sound.
âEh?â
The alloy metal door slowly opened in front of him.
Fang Heng was surprised to see the person standing across the door.
Ji Haiting!
Ji Haiting appeared in front of Fang Heng under the protection of a group of psychic-modified guards.
Although invisible, Fang Heng could clearly perceive that there was a thick mental space barrier between them.
The guards beside Ji Haiting looked tense, their eyes fixed firmly on Fang Heng.
âFang Heng, Iâm very happy to meet you again.â
âItâs you again. What a coincidence.â
âHahaha, isnât this fate?â
Ji Haiting laughed. He looked at Fang Heng and said, âFang Heng, you are very powerful. Your strength has exceeded my expectations again. No wonder even the spawns are so afraid of you.â
Spawns?
Fang Hengâs heart skipped a beat.
As expected!
This world was related to spawns.
Fang Heng glanced at Ji Haitingâs guards who were on high alert and asked with a frown, âYou noticed me long ago? Have you been waiting for me?â
âNot really. We just arrived. Actually, I was just about to leave. Coincidentally, the system notified me that someone had entered the outside of the research institute. I felt that there might be a problem, so I came over to take a look. I didnât expect it to be you.â
Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng with sincerity. He spread his hands and said, âFang Heng, Iâll say it again. If youâre keen, we can work together.â
Ji Haiting paused for a moment and extended another invitation to Fang Heng. âItâs not about cooperating with the Federation or the alien spawn. Itâs something more personal. Itâs about partnering with me, with the OmniTech Company that I control. Trust me, together we can create the future.â
[Hint: The player has triggered the choice mission-invitation to cooperate with OmniTech Company.]
Mission title: Invitation to cooperate with OmniTech Company.
Mission description: The chairman of OmniTech Company, Ji Haiting, has sent you an invitation to cooperate with you privately.
[Hint: This cooperation is private. If the player agrees, the player can still belong to the tree spirit camp.]
[Hint (triggered by the playerâs early mission reward): This choice will greatly reduce the friendliness of the tree spirits and greatly increase the difficulty of the mission. It is not recommended to choose this mission line.]
Fang Heng glanced at the mission notification.
For a moment, he was actually a little tempted.
However, the game rewards didnât recommend this route.
Fang Heng said after some thought, âIf itâs possible, I need some time to consider it.â
Ji Haiting was stunned.
He thought that Fang Heng would reject him as straightforwardly as before, but he did not expect to receive an answer of agreement this time. He immediately laughed and said, âHahaha, good! Of course, anytime!â
Ji Haiting nodded to his subordinate, and a magnetic card flew into Fang Hengâs hand through the spiritual barrier.
âMy contact information is on it. As long as I activate my spiritual power and confirm that youâre within the range of the spiritual domain seal, Iâll be able to immediately sense your location and pay you a visit personally.â
[Hint: The player has obtained an item-unknown magnetic card.]
Fang Heng put away the card and nodded, âNow I need to get the Niam alloy. You will stop me, right?â
âNo, you guessed wrong.â
Ji Haiting spread his hands and said, âItâs just the Niam alloy. If you want it, I can give it to you at any time. I only hope to get an answer from you. I hope you can answer me seriously.â
âPlease ask.â
âIâve investigated your identity. I guess youâre not from our world, so I want to know your camp. Who are you working for now? Ouroboros?â
When Fang Heng heard this, his pupils constricted and his expression changed slightly.
âWhat?â
âOuroboros, Fang Heng, weâve uploaded a sample of the Licker you controlled to the spiritual domain network. Weâve detected traces of Ouroborosâs gene fragments.â
Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng and continued, âYou are probably well aware of the intensity of the spawnsâ pursuit of Ouroboros. Although I have temporarily hidden this information using my personal strength, the spawns will still intervene and investigate. You donât have much time left to consider. Once they discover your trailâŠâ
âYou definitely wonât be able to escape!â
Fang Heng frowned.
He found a gene fragment related to Ouroboros from the Licker?
What was going on?
Was it the Hila virus?
The undying body effect was related to the Hila virus, so the Lickerâs body might have been contaminated with the Ouroboros gene fragment.
There was another possibility.
It was him!
The Ouroboros gene fragment was inherited by the Licker from him!
Or were there other possibilities?
Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng, who was deep in thought. After a while, he urged, âFang Heng, thereâs not much time left. I need to go. I need an answer.â
Fang Heng raised his head and said, âNo, I work for myself.â
âHahaha! Thatâs great! Me too!â
Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng with approval and continued, âThe Niam alloy is in Research Laboratory No. 3. You can have as much as you want. Iâll say it again. Iâve been looking forward to working with you. When youâve thought it through, you can contact me anytime.â
